The Champion Rom.nosr.

From tho Boston OommerciaL Bulletin.
As an illustration of the Colossal liars'' OF
OF the West. Gen. McCook relates the follow
ing: He was travelling among the Rocky
Mountains, and, strayIng out one morning
from the trail. stood for u moment entranced
by the magnificent landscape spread before
him, when he was aroused from his medita-
tIons by the footsteps Of one OF the guides
who had followed HIM, lest he should lose his
way.
lis not this magnificent. Bl?" exclaimed
the General, anxious TO share his delight.
TITS mighty purity, General" said the
guide, but kin show you bigger sights nor
this. Why, one time Kansas lin and me had
been trampln' three days and nights, and we
came to plain, and right in the midst of 1t
was forest all turned to solid stump
The General smiled and remarked: ~ have
heard of petrhed trees before, Bill"
The guide eXpectorated without changing
countenance, and continues; But that
warn't all, General. Thar war n buffalo on
that plain. and he war petrihcd on the clean
jump, and his huifs had kicked up bit of sod,

The General turned an amused countenance
on the narrator, and said: "Why Bill, the

! In a day OF two Senator John Sherman
Will make o speech at Nashville in ac-
eordance with the programme which was
! announced when ne started on his trip to
the South. The speech no doubt will be
pretty generally telegrapAed over the
! country. He may make speeches at other
points in the South, but his chief effort
| will be at Nashville.
1t Is safe to assume that he will arraign
the Democratic party for shortcomings OF
one kind and another, and will magnify
any little mistakes, which the Democratic
party may have made since it obtained
control of the government, into great ones.
He will talk about the tariff and insist
that the protective policy of the Republi-
can party is the one needed by the South
TO develop her growing manufacturing
interests. He Is able and adroit, and will
make as strong plea for the Republican
party as it Is possible to make.
lie does not hope, however, to convert
Democrats to the principles OF the Re-
publican party at this time. What he 1s
aiming to do now is to convince the Re
publicans Of the South that he is the
most available Republican candidate for
the Presidency. He has been a Presiden-
tial candidate for long time, and if he
misses the next Nomination il is probable
that he will miss being Presidential
candidate forever.
There are two other prominent candi-
dates for the Presidency in his party
Mr.. Blaine and Senate Allison. The
Blaine men favor Allison alter their ia
vorite. As general thing they are hos
tile to Sherman, not because they dislike
him, but because they fear that he may
defeat Blaine. Sherman understands
very we'll that his fight is against Blaine,
and that if he can convince his party that
Blaine's chances of being elected are not
good the nomination may come to him,
In an interview, just before he started
South, he said that the Republicans In
New York who voted against Blaine de-
feated him, and that they voted as they
did because they had no confidence in
him. They were chiefly business men
who didn't want a man at the head of the
government who was liable at any time to
do something that would produce an IN
settled feeling throughout the country.
Further along in his interview the Sen
atOr limited that Blaine couldn't get these
voters ifhe were nominated again, but that
they would come back to the Repu Dlican
party if a candidate were nominated who
had their confidence. 1t is a fact that
Sherman is well thought of by the bust
ness men of New York city, and he will
take care to make that plain as the can
vass for the nomination progresses.
He hopes, no doubt, to get the majority
of the Southern delegates. He is shrewd
enough to see that with the Republicans
of the South Blaine is not so popular as
to blind them to the fact that he hasn't as
good chance of being elected as he had
in 1884. The President will, in all proba-
bility, be renominated, and he can count
on every Republican vote that he got in
1884 il Blame is renominated. Sherman Is
after the Southern delegations, and he
will leave no means untried to get them.

The Herald, a weekly newspaper pub
lished at Montgomery, Ala, by a colored
man, in recent issues complained OF tho
alleged Ill treatment OF the negroes in that
city, claiming that they are shot down by
the police without provocation. The
other papers Of Montgomery deny that
there is any foundation for the COM
plants. 1t is to be regretted that nows-
papers published by negroes seem to de-
light in stirring upenmity between tho
races. An opposite course would result
IN much Eore good to all concerned.

The argument has been completed on
the appeal OF the Chicago Anarchists to
the Supreme Court of Illinois. 1t is
thought that the Judges will not render
their decision before month or six
weeks. II It should be adverse to the
Anarchists they probably will not be re-
sentenced until September, though such
delay is said to be unnecessary. The
bare possibility OF their escape from the

Congressman Townshend, of Illinois,
thinks that an extra session of Congress
will be called in October. His reasons
are that he thinks the deficiency bill and
the river and harbor bill Will need to be
acted on before Congress meets in De-
cember. He also thinks it is important
that the House should be organized and
prepared for work soon enough to get
Through with business before political
discussions begin to take up the time. He
does not expect contest over the organ

there is to be any revision Of the tariff the
Executive will have to take a hand in It.

The Proposed Florida Exposition.

Several enterprises are being considered
which will attract visitors to Florida
next winter, and will, besides, advertise
the State extensively. The people of
Florida are not lacking in the spirit OF
progress. No sooner ia one undertaking
disposed of than another is projected.
Among the enterprises projected for
next winter there are some which are not
yet ripe enough for publicity. There Is
one, however, that has already received
a great deal of attention, and of the sue
cess OF which there can be no reasonable
doubt. It's the Sub-Tropical Exposition.
1t has been Endorsed by agricultural and
fruit growers associations or the State,
and the railroads which are interested In
Florida have promised 1t su bstantial as
| sistance.
1t is none too soon to begin prepare
| tiOns for it. There is much to be done,
and all the vast details cannot be per-
| fected In few weeks. One OF the most
necessary things is harmonious action.
There is success in unity and harmony,
and failure in dissensIons. Every town
cannot be the site OF the exposition, and
| every man who wants to be cannot be at
! the head OF it. The aim sh ould be to put
| the best men at the front and select as the
site the town which careful consideration
OF the advantages OF each shows to be the
one likely to contribute the most TO the
| expOsition's success,
Although the time likely TO be selected
| for opening the exposition is quite dis
lance in the future, it will be wise to be-
gin making necessary arrangements at an
| early q day as possible.

Sheridan Shook, the manager Of the

Gently made an appropriation Of 5000 for

discoverer OF gold in that State. 1t is
said that Marshall died from starvation.
His case is another illustration OF the
fact that men who either by design or &c
cident render great services tothe world
usually have to wait until they are dead
before being rewarded. 1t goes without
saying that 1t would be more philan-
throphic TO reward them while they are
alive-especially II they are in need.
